Ontario’s 76,000 elementary public school teachers will take work-to-rule job action Monday as they protest stalled contract talks.

The Elementary Teachers Federation of Ontario (ETFO) signalled Sunday that it intends to make good on a promise to stop performing “administrative” duties which would normally be covered off by teachers.

That means that EQAO testing, writing comments on report cards and other education ministry-mandated activities, won’t be done, starting Monday.

ETFO officials said Sunday they had no comment.

However, ETFO President Sam Hammond on Friday called the work-to-rule campaign “Phase 1” of job action and described it as being “incremental in nature.” The union has not ruled out expanding to a full strike at some point.

“ETFO teachers are not prepared to allow increases in class sizes, have their preparation time directed by others, or be micromanaged and have their ability to support student learning compromised,” he said.

But for now, ETFO says that teachers will remain in school and continue to teach, provide extra help to students and maintain contact with parents.

Education Minister Liz Sandals on Sunday urged the union to return to the bargaining table.

“While it is disappointing that ETFO has decided to withdraw some services, I am encouraged to hear that students will remain in the classroom and continue to learn,” she said in a statement. “I understand that parents and students continue to be concerned, and that is why it is important to negotiate at the central bargaining table as that is where difficult discussions belong.”

Jeff Sprang, a spokesman for the Ontario Public School Board Association (OPSBA), said the board had no comment Sunday.

On Saturday, OPSBA president Michael Barrett renewed his call for the teachers’ union to return to the bargaining table Monday.

“We have been at the table, ready to talk, throughout the process and it is where we will be on Monday morning,” said Barrett.

Teachers have been without a contract since Aug. 31, 2014, and the talks have been ongoing since September 2014.
